Bucaramanga – Once Caldas, rescheduled in the dark: a canceled flight, a late call, and a week thrown off

At night on Monday, the plan for bucaramanga – once caldas changed suddenly. The Liga BetPlay 2026-I match, part of the tournament’s 12th round, was no longer going to happen as scheduled after Once Caldas ran into travel trouble on the way to Bucaramanga.

Why was Bucaramanga – Once Caldas reprogrammed?

Dimayor communicated that the match was reprogrammed for a situation outside the teams’ control: problems with Once Caldas’ flight. Dimayor stated that the Manizales-based team did not manage to arrive on time in Bucaramanga “due to the cancellation of the flight it had scheduled and the lack of response from the airline to solve the problem. ”

What changed for bucaramanga – once caldas: new date and kickoff time

The match was initially set to be played at the Américo Montanini stadium on Tuesday, March 17. After the Monday-night update, Dimayor set a new date: Wednesday, March 18.

The new kickoff time was also communicated: 7: 30 p. m. in Colombia time. Dimayor did not provide additional details in the available information beyond the travel disruption and the updated scheduling.

How the late decision lands inside a team’s week

The reprogramming did not just shift a calendar entry. Atlético Bucaramanga indicated that the decision came late and that it affects the rest of the week’s training schedule. In practical terms, the announcement arriving at night on Monday meant that what had been built for a Tuesday match had to be recalibrated, with the game now coming a day later.

For bucaramanga – once caldas, the change reflects a familiar vulnerability in modern competition: a single point of failure in travel logistics can move an official fixture, even when the sporting preparation on both sides has already been set in motion.
